Houston has already won more games this year than they did all of last year. Not sure this thread has any merit.
Houston is 23-29. Their roster is full of talent. I don't think we can say that Houston doesn't have top tier talent. Jalen Green is supremely talented, but can he be a winner in the NBA?
They are young, talented, and Ime has time to develop this squad. I'm sure he won't be fired when they have a losing record this year.
They are still closer to the cellar than contender. Heck, Will Hardy is winning more with less talent.
